    Yeah, portraits are arguably the main use case for a lens like the 85/1.2 (particularly the EF version, since the AF was ponderous). The...

    Maybe you would understand it if you had used and liked the ergonomics "back then". Or appreciated the build quality of the (cameras...

    I'm also ok with only the near eye being focused. I just get tickled when I see posts bemoaning ultra bright apertures not being useful...

    I really like the shape of the right wing. That's a very nice shot, Speedfinder.
  • neuroanatomist
    If the subject is not directly facing the camera, using a very wide aperture can certainly mean only one eye is in focus. It's not...

    An interesting design feature of the EF 24-70 mm f/2.8 L Mk I extending-type zoom lens is that it extends out at minimum focal length...

    +1 for the Tamron 85mm f/1.8 SP. Really good lens, for some reason on this particular Tamron model even the outer AF points work...

    I wasn't sure if you were serious or just teasing, because it seems like there are so many things you can photograph with a 100 or 135mm...

    I love my EF 28mm for the simple reason that is mentioned in the article: no RF equivalent and no commercial prospects to build one...

    "For portraiture, wouldn't keeping both eyes in focus be a problem @f1.4?" No. Not at f/1.2, either. One eye out of focus is a...

    I really enjoy using the EF100mm f/2. It might not have top-notch image quality, but it performs well and is small and light. I also...
